Memory error: Memory Allocation failure on Power bi desktop
AmiraBedh I have more the 80GB free memory in system.I have also reduce columsn from table and tried again but no success.
I have tried by installing older version(Avg 2022) and all the data refreshed successfully.Looks like there was some issue in latest version.
Generally, the "Memory allocation error" can occur when the amount of data being loaded into the report exceeds the available memory on your computer.
Try to Increase the available memory: You can try closing other applications to free up more memory for Power BI. You can also try increasing the virtual memory settings on your computer
Try optimizing the report by reducing the number of visuals, reducing the number of columns in the tables, or reducing the amount of data being loaded into the report.
I used to split large reports it into multiple reports or pages to reduce the amount of data being loaded into each report. Otherwise what type of connection you are using ?
Well, I have reports that have run successfully for several years with periodic data refreshes and no significant increase in data or restructuring of data/added queries...AND NOW, all of the sudden, I'm getting this error on several models in several of my standard workspaces. It's all in Matrices...opening up a matrix level blew up one model. Today a second one ran out of resources. Sure they're big but not that big and have been just humming along for years until this moment. I've been scrambling to change things up or thin things out. It's really crazy from where I sit. I do believe there is an issue.
